Is there a performance difference between using MQAX or using the API calls?

I haven't done the measurements, but I'd suppose that since MQAX appears to be a wrapper on top of the MQ C-based API, then the answer is, yes, there will be a cost in terms of compute cycles.

HOWEVER, in the grand scheme I would guess the 2nd part of that answer is "It just doesn't matter", because the dominant factor in performance will be the inter-process comms and the I/O. So if you are using an MQ client, your calls to the MQ Server need to go across the network. This will be 3 orders of magnitude more expensive than any layering cost incurred by MQAX. Likewise if you use message persistence, and so many other things.

Not willing to leave it at that, the last part of the answer to your question is, "try it and see."
